Back again, it's been a while.

I've been busy, and I'm sorry to've let you down.
Therefor I made you a special 30 minute podcast.
It's the first one about break-ups. I'll do another one soon.
Next one will be the about sadness and heartbreak, this one is about the anger one can feel after breaking up.

Tracklist:

1. Johnny Cash- Don't Think Twice (Dylan cover)

2. The Black Keys- Next Girl
"...My next girl, will be nothing like my ex girl. I made mistakes back then, I'll never do it again..."

3. Gangstarr- Ex Girl To The Next Girl
"...Don't give me no long face, just exit with grace. You and I had a past, c'est la vie, much respect girl, but now you're my ex girl 'cause I'm on with the next girl... next.... next..."

4. Joe Torres- Get Out Of My Way (Ugly Woman)
...You've been cheating on me baby, and you've been used to having your way. I'm gonna count from 1 to 3 babe, when I say 2 get out of my way...

Title says it all...

8. The Magnetic Fields- You Must Be Out Of Your Mind
"...You can't go 'round just saying stuff, because it's pretty. And I no longer drink enough to think you're witty. If you think you can leave the past behind you must be out of your mind. If you think you can simply press rewind you must be out of your mind..."

9. Solomon Burke- Get Out My Life Woman
... Classic!

10. Lily Allen- Not Big
"...I never wanted it to end up this way,
You've only got yourself to blame, I'm gonna tell the world you're rubbish in bed now

Nicola Arigliano- 20 KM Al Giorno (Mystery solved!)

2010-01-07T03:07:00.000-08:00

Hi All,

I've been owning this record for quite some time now, picked it up at a secondhand-recordstore called "Tommy" (which unfortunately does not excist anymore) in Tilburg about 13 years ago.
It's got lots of great tracks on it, and one song in particular.
A nice cinametic Italian piece, that I've been playing on a regular basis ever since I bought the record, and has been a big "hit" at parties of me and my friends.
The only problem was, I never knew who the artist was.
As you can see, at the back of the sleeve, only the composers are mentioned, which strikes me as odd, since the album is titled "All The Hits With All The Stars".
On the front cover only the titles of the songs are mentioned.

I recently found out that the singer is Nicola Arigliano, and the title of the song is "20 KM Al Giorno". It was released as a single in 1964. I love how the title is misspelled on both the front- and backcover as well as on the record itself! (Tweenty KM instead of Twenty KM)

I tried to find information about this "All The Hits With All The Stars"-compilation, but it's nowhere to be found on the internet.
So I searched for information about the label on which it was released, "Schok Records" but again no information about the label anywhere on the net.

I tried to rip the LP to mp3 but for some reason my equipment let me down, but I'll have that fixed soon. Wait for the update.
For now you can listen to the song, which I took from the Youtube clip that is available. (I could not find the song on any site, blog or on Soulseek or Direct Connect++ .... and ofcourse I won't buy it on cd since I already own it on vinyl).

LISTEN:

Nicola Arigliano- 20 KM Al Giorno

What I found out as well, when searching for the artist, is that one of my personal heroes, Mike Patton, did a version of the song with his project Mondo Cane!
I was amazed as, to me, this was kind of an obscure track...
Listen to Patton's version of the song, recorded live in Paradiso, Amsterdam in the Netherlands....

Mike Patton and the Metropole Orchestra- 20 KM Al Giorno

And watch the video here:

I will highlite some more of the songs on the album, probably rip the whole record for you guys, 'cause this compilation is a goldmine of brilliant tracks.

Oh, and if someone has any information about this Italian "Schok"-label, please let me know!

Same Song, Different Name

2010-01-03T05:53:00.000-08:00

"Uptight (Everything's Alright)" is ofcourse the 1966 hitsingle recorded by Stevie Wonder for the Motown label (it was then still called Tamla Motown). One of his most popular early singles, "Uptight" was the first Stevie Wonder single to be co-written by the artist.

One year later, 1967, Bill Cosby recorded and released his single "Little Ole Man", off his musical comedy album "Bill Cosby Sings" (Warner Bros).
He basically took the Wonder song and put new words to it.

In 1969 reggea-singer Delroy Wilson released a record called "Good All Over" (Coxsone/Studio 1) with a song on it called "Funky Broadway" (not to be confused with another song called Funky Broadway, by Bobby Powell, released in the same year), which is obviously a re-work of the Uptight-song by Stevie Wonder with some different words.
It's hard to describe the style of the song. As someone mentioned on Youtube: "Is it reggea? Or is it Northern Soul?"
Anyways, it just kicks ass if you ask me.

Give all three songs a listen!

Stevie Wonder- Uptight (Everything Is Alright) (1966)

Bill Cosby: Little Ole Man (1967)

Delroy Wilson- Funky Broadway (1969)

Rockabilly- and reggeatime with these two versions of the same jolly old tune, which doesn't leave much to your imagination.

Same Song, Different Name

2009-12-16T22:23:00.000-08:00

I recently discovered "Heart Trouble" by the Welsh band "Eyes of Blue" on this fantastic compilation of rare 60's beat, freakbeat, RnB, psych & soul, called "Go Gear! vol.5" (released on a label called "13th Dimension").
When I heard it for the first time I immediately fell in love with the song.

The original single was released in 1967.
Sadly there's not a whole lot of information to be found on the internet about this group.

As I first listened to the tune I noticed that the lyrics sounded familiar to me, and not much later it came to me: Funkadelic's "You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure" from the band's "Cosmic Slop"-album (released in '73) has taken a good bit of the lyrics of this song.

After some more searching I found out that the original tune was written by the Parliaments and released in 1965, two years before the release of Eyes Of Blues' version.

The Parliaments, who's style at that time would be best described as Northern Soul, would later on turn into Parliament and Funkadelic; two bands consisting of the same members, recording for different labels, and as we all know, were the main performers of the soul- and funk subgenre known as P-Funk. So that's were it all comes together...

Have a listen to all three tunes, they are equally great:

Eyes Of Blue- Heart Trouble:

The Parliaments- Heart Trouble:

Funkadelic- You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure:

PS. Later on George Clinton did another solo version of "Heart Trouble" which is just too awful to post here...

"THE TWIN RECORDS"

2009-11-26T00:54:00.000-08:00

Hi all,

This is something I'll do more often. The "Twin Records".

The idea for it came to me when recently I was listening to Howlin' Wolfs rare album called "This is Howlin' Wolf's new album. He doesn't like it. He didn't like his electric guitar at first either.".
It contains a version of "Three Hundred Pounds Of Joy", played on an electric guitar, that instantly reminded me of another song. That song was "Got My Finger On Your Trigger" by Slim Harpo, a personal favourite.

The two pieces are so much alike, it's unbelievable.

I tried to find information on both songs, but there's not a whole lot to find.

Slim Harpo's song was put out in 1970, Howlin' Wolfs album was released in either 1968 or 1969. There doesn't seem to be any connection between the two.

Anyways, have a listen and judge for yourself:

Howlin' Wolf- Three Hundred Pounds Of Joy (Electric Version)

Slim Harpo- Got My Finger On Your Trigger

REMINDER!!! Best Cuts Of Music Radioshow turned 50!!!

2009-11-25T13:25:00.000-08:00

Hi guys,

I told you guys this before, but I'm becoming a bigger fan everyday.

Recently I discovered the (blog)site to a (internet)radioshow called "Best Cuts In Music" and I think it's freakin' awesome!

It's been hosted by two guys named Robe Flax and Sam Houser.
The show is filled with obscure, out-of-print, or just never picked up music, and for a change, the guys are not fancy about it.

Robe and Sam have an excellent taste in music as well as a great sense of humour.
Not a single genre remains untouched and you never know what you can expect, except for the fact that the music WILL be good!

The reason I promote the show once again is the fact that the 50th episode was uploaded 10 days ago, November the 15th, so that calls for a celibration!

Here's an episode to give you an idea, you'll have a blast!

EPISODE 38:

"...For the taste that can't be beat, we've got the best cuts of -MusIc ...-"

Hooray! Listen to all the shows here: BEST CUTS OF MUSIC

SAME SONG, DIFFERENT NAME

2009-11-25T10:16:00.000-08:00

I've known the Taj Mahal song for quite a while now, but I recently discovered the version by Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation.
Different name, same song.

Very different versions though, and where Taj Mahal just buys stuff for his girl because he likes it, the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation expects a little more in return for all the goods they're providing their honey with...

Both very nice and mellow :)

TIP OF THE DAY- BEST CUTS OF MUSIC!!!!

2009-11-19T17:51:00.001-08:00

Hi guys,

Recently I discovered the (blog)site to an (internet)radioshow called "Best Cuts In Music" and I think it's excellent!

It's been hosted by two guys named Robe Flax and Sam Houser.
The show is filled with obscure, out-of-print, or just never picked up music, and for a change, the guys are not fancy about it.
Not a single genre remains untouched and you never know what you can expect, except for the fact that the music WILL be good!

They just play great tunes and have a laugh.

I've downloaded about every show now, and listened to it as if it were actual radio (which I have not been doin' since I was 14) and it has been so much fun.

Here's an episode to give you an idea:

EPISODE 24:

Download a few and judge for yourself...

"...For the taste that can't be beat, we've got the best cuts of -MusIc ...-"

Hooray! Listen to all the shows here: BEST CUTS OF MUSIC

Dutch guy with a big collection of ‘non-music’ and ‘oddities’ on vinyl, found at thrift stores and flea markets, just started to put them on his blog.
